Sealed Pot Challenge 6 ~ Part 2

            DreamerHelen - excellent and well done.
 Q? for you experienced potters.
 I want my bagged coins to be rounded up to exactly £10, £20 for example on the 28th Nov - ONLY 4 WEEKS TODAY. :j
 So, would it be ok to have a holding pot now to round up the bags as needed and anything left over could start off next years challenge?
 Am I too fussy and just go with the flow??

 I wouldn't call myself an experienced potter but.... Last year i just potted everything then at the end of the year i bagged everything then whatever didn't fit i didn't declare but just saved it for next year. That's kind of the same as what you want to do only different.... lolSealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4

 Yes, an option.
 I'm obsessed on getting those bags matched up perfectly. :rotfl:

            Hi all,
 Won £2 on a scratchcard (bought for me by DH) so £2 potted along with a lovely shiny 5p found in a corner of my very empty purse. Never mind tomorrow is payday and it's also my birthday! :j
 I'm volunteering on the coffee bar at the theatre tonight so a free night out to boot Sealed Pot Challenge #012 Sealed Pot Challenge #012

 Thanks, so I'm not neurotic then. 
 So then, rather than start a holding pot, I've potted:
 3 x £2 coins (on a roll with them at the minute), 1 x 50p and 1 x 20p coin = £6.70 potted.
 £534+ potted now and I'll think I'll pot up to £665 and then start my holding pot. I reckon and hope I have at least £35 uncounted part £'s (fingers crossed).
 I would love to finish with £700 ......................................... exactly £700 that is ............................. with all bags with perfect amounts in. :rotfl:

            Just 65p potted for me today, but every little helps!
 I am sat working my way through the Halloween sweets we have left over, luckily the trick & treat-ers were out in full force tonight so not too many to get through... and it would be rude to leave them there for dd's to fight over!It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.0
